CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
LEGAL SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN

License

THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE
WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS
PROHIBITED.

BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS
YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Definitions

"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical
issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in
its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of
other contributions, constituting separate and
independent works in themselves, are assembled into a
collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective
Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined
below) for the purposes of this License.

"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or
upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a
translation, musical arrangement, dramatization,
fictionalization, motion picture version, sound
recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or
any other form in which the Work may be recast,
transformed, or adapted, except that a work that
constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the
avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
composition or sound recording, the synchronization of
the Work in timed-relation with a moving image
("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the
purpose of this License.

"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the
Work under the terms of this License.

"Original Author" means the individual or entity who
created the Work.

"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered
under the terms of this License.

"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights
under this License who has not previously violated the
terms of this License with respect to the Work, or who
has received express permission from the Licensor to
exercise rights under this License despite a previous
violation.

"License Elements" means the following high-level license
attributes as selected by Licensor and indicated in the
title of this License: Attribution, Noncommercial,
ShareAlike.

Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce,
limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale
or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright
owner under copyright law or other applicable laws.

License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable
copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated
below:

to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one
or more Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as
incorporated in the Collective Works;

to create and reproduce Derivative Works;

to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display
publicly, perform publicly, and perform publicly by means
of a digital audio transmission the Work including as
incorporated in Collective Works;

The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats
whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights
include the right to make such modifications as are technically
necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats.
All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth in
Sections 4(e) and 4(f).

Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is
expressly made subject to and limited by the following
restrictions:

You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
or publicly digitally perform the Work only under the
terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or
the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with
every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute,
publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder.
You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all
notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer
of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display,
publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work
with any technological measures that control access or
use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms
of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work
as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not
require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to
be made subject to the terms of this License. If You
create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor
You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or the
Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative
Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the
extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any
reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as
requested.

You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work only
under the terms of this License, a later version of this
License with the same License Elements as this License,
or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the
same License Elements as this License (e.g.
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Japan). You must
include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier
for, this License or other license specified in the
previous sentence with every copy or phonorecord of each
Derivative Work You distribute, publicly display,
publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You may
not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works
that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and
You must keep intact all notices that refer to this
License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not
distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform the Derivative Work with any
technological measures that control access or use of the
Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this
License Agreement. The above applies to the Derivative
Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does
not require the Collective Work apart from the Derivative
Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License.

You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in
Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended
for or directed toward commercial advantage or private
monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other
copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or
otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or
directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation, provided there is no payment of any
monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of
copyrighted works.

If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
publicly digitally perform the Work or any Derivative
Works or Collective Works, You must keep intact all
copyright notices for the Work and give the Original
Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are
utilizing by conveying the name (or pseudonym if
applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title
of the Work if supplied; to the extent reasonably
practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any,
that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work,
unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or
licensing information for the Work; and in the case of a
Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work
in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the
Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on
original Work by Original Author"). Such credit may be
implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however,
that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work,
at a minimum such credit will appear where any other
comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at
least as prominent as such other comparable authorship
credit.

For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical
composition:

Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect,
whether individually or via a performance rights
society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties for the

primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation.

Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor
reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether
individually or via a music rights agency or

("cover version") and distribute, subject to the
compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 115 of
the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other

version is primarily intended for or directed
toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation. 6. Webcasting Rights and Statutory

via a performance-rights society (e.g.
SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital
performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to
the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section
114 of the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in
other jurisdictions), if Your public digital

PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER
DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS,
WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON
ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR
THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Termination

This License and the rights granted hereunder will
terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the
terms of this License. Individuals or entities who have
received Derivative Works or Collective Works from You
under this License, however, will not have their licenses
terminated provided such individuals or entities remain
in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5,
6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.

Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license
granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the
applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the
above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
under different license terms or to stop distributing the
Work at any time; provided, however that any such
election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any
other license that has been, or is required to be,
granted under the terms of this License), and this
License will continue in full force and effect unless
terminated as stated above.

Miscellaneous

Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform
the Work or a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the
recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and
conditions as the license granted to You under this
License.

Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a
license to the original Work on the same terms and
conditions as the license granted to You under this
License.

If any provision of this License is invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
terms of this License, and without further action by the
parties to this agreement, such provision shall be
reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
provision valid and enforceable.

No term or provision of this License shall be deemed
waived and no breach consented to unless such waiver or
consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be
charged with such waiver or consent.

This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are
no understandings, agreements or representations with
respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall
not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear
in any communication from You. This License may not be
modified without the mutual written agreement of the
Licensor and You.
